Description bewerbung5 2008-09-15 00:11:27 UTC
Gedit is unable to load the "external tools" plugin on my system.
Here is what I get on the command line: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/gedit-2/plugins/externaltools/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    import gnomevfs
ImportError: No module named gnomevfs

** (gedit:22635): WARNING **: Cannot load Python plugin 'External Tools' since file 'externaltools' cannot be read.

"emerge dev-python/gnome-vfs-python" solved it for me.

Reproducible: Always

I tested it with all versions available in portage.

I'm not sure how we missed this. Fixed in CVS (stable version depending on monolithic gnome-python and unstable -r1 depending on gnome-vfs and libgnome (latter is only required for bug-reporting tool)).
Comment 3 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2008-09-15 05:00:24 UTC
I guess those that didn't use this particular plugin were quite happy to not have these dependencies, unless they needed it anyway for something else, which was very likely with monolith python bindings.
Comment 4 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-15 05:41:03 UTC
Just stating it here for others to remember: 2.24 no longer deps on gnomevfs. We'll have to make sure that the plugins also use gio.

Cheers
